Adobe CS5 launching April 12 with a new tool for Interaction Designers

Hello All,

There are some new tools from Adobe coming together with the launch of CS5, which it takes place April 12.
Flash Catalyst is one of them, which it seems to be a tool totally based on our community (interaction designers)

If you didn't see it yet, check it out the adobe labs link: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashcatalyst/ and have fun

Cheers,

prototype philosophy

Great article on the business week site today about design...

Near the end of the article Claudia Kotchka talks about prototype workshops...

"Participants get scared using such rough prototypes to elicit
consumer feedback at the beginning, but they are won over when they
see the benefits of co-creation," says Kotchka.

UX/IxD terminology: Prototype

Okay, I've heard lots of words around here that I think we all have
different meanings to us personally. The one that seems to be currently
messing up a few of us in one thread is the word "prototype", so let's start
with that.

To me, a prototype is a scaled down model of what you want things to look
like. I think what's messing us up the most is that it's too general of a
term and could be used to describe just about anything we do at any point.

I'll break down some of the terminology I use with the client and you can
agree or disagree from there.
